Andreas Kling 69bb0c0246 malloc: Use 64KB blocks (instead of 4KB) ...

We now allocate 64KB at a time and divide them into chunks for handing
out to malloc() callers. This significantly reduces the number of
system calls made due to memory allocation.

This yields a ~15% speedup when compiling Process.cpp inside SerenityOS
(down from 24 sec to 20 sec on my machine.)

There's more performance on the table here, no doubt.
